This modern two-bedroom semi-detached house (built 2021) offers an economical route onto the ladder through a 25% shared ownership option. The open-plan ground floor combines a fitted contemporary kitchen with a bright sitting area and French doors that open onto a larger-than-average, enclosed rear garden. Two double bedrooms and a family bathroom sit on the first floor; one bedroom includes built-in storage.
Practical features include a ground-floor WC, a double storage cupboard off the hall, off-street parking for two cars on a private driveway and a side hardstanding suitable for a large shed or small garage. The property benefits from mains gas central heating, a 121-year lease remaining and a modest 743 sq ft footprint, making maintenance straightforward for a first-time buyer or investor.
Important facts and drawbacks: the sale is for a 25% share with rent payable on the remaining 75% (current rent approximately £451 pcm for the 75% share). The tenure is leasehold and the neighbourhood records above-average crime levels. The house is presented in good decorative order but, as with most new-builds, space is compact compared with older family homes. Commuters will appreciate easy access to the A1 and the short walk to Boroughbridge town centre and local amenities.
Overall this is a practical, low-maintenance starter home with private outdoor space and parking — a realistic option for first-time buyers wanting a modern, energy-efficient home with the potential to staircase to a larger share over time.
